A Novel Mechanism in MPLS Network under Adversarial Uncertainty

The advantage of multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) is its capability to route the packets through explicit paths. But the nodes in the paths may be possibly attacked by the adversarial uncertainty. Aiming at this problem in MPLS Network, in this paper, we propose a novel mechanism in MPLS network under adversarial uncertainty, making use of the theory of artificial intelligence, at first, we find the initialized label switching paths (LSPs) using the A* arithmetic, and secondly, during the process of data transmission, we switch the transmission path duly by taking advantage of the non-monotone reasoning mechanism. Compared to the traditional route mechanism, the experimental results show that it improves the security if data transmission remarkably under our novel mechanism in MPLS network.
